We took the girls to the mall today. You gotta love underground parking. Eva is so good about sitting in her car seat and making sure she is buckled in. Grabbed this photo of her as we were leaving. Believe it or not the lighting in the parkade was very cool.

Eva is getting a lot braver at gymnastics Tuesday mornings and that makes for a whole lot more smiles as she discovers how easy and fun it all is. She now has the spunk to climb out of her crib which means life at her house has changed a little and her parents are a little more tired.

She sits all by herself now....and you know what that means for her grandma the photographer. Also note that every time I ask her sister if I can take her photo I get a pretty definitive "NO"
So expect a lot of Miss Norah until Eva is past her camera shy phase.

Guys night out at the movies so I decided to make a mess. I had the shot in less then 10 minutes from set up to clean up. The only miscalculation was the size of the bowl to catch the sugar. I had to do a little vacuuming!

Good thing I got this on the first shot because white wine is just not the same at room temperature.

It went with this....

Chicken cacciatore and Quinoa a la Mark. Yes my fireman/paramedic/cook is home and I am enjoying the fruits of his labour which was a real treat to come home to after work today. Why is this good looking young man not married!!!!

Sigh....
The commute home from work today was a little stressful but it only promises to get worse so we plan to stay put all weekend. Highways are shutting down. Thankful my husband is not trying to drive home from Yorkton.

Woke up to the sound of shovels this morning. It may be a long winter....

I have my studio lights set up in the living room so I decided to play around with them today.

Harold was a willing subject, sort of.... for 10 minutes.

Hey if you are looking for a portrait, give me a call. I will have the "studio" set up for as long as I can.... until my husband says he wants the living room back. :)
Ladies, how about a little black book with some delightful photos in it to put in that special's someones's stocking?

The Canon 5D Mk 3 came on the market this summer. It has faster/better auto focus, 6fps and a few other rather desirable features - my fav being the silent shutter (weddings!). It also came with a hefty price tag ~ $3400. I love my 5D Mk II ( I have 2 of them because I shoot weddings) and they are relatively new. I couldn't justify the price of the Mk III and the Mk II produces fabulous photos for me. It is after all more about the photographer then the camera right?

Took this photo of my 5D Mk II with my...... 5D Mk II. :)

But today Canon announced a sudden drop in price of the Mk III.... to just under $3000. Word on the street is they are getting stiff competition with Nikon D800, D600 and Canon's up coming D6. So will this price last??? Probably not. Should I sell one of my Mk II's? And get the Mk III?
My husband says go for it.
I love this guy!

Anyone interested in my Mk II - a fabulous camera! I paid $2700.00 for it. The Mk II has dropped too. Sells for $1900.00 with a $200 Canon rebate at Don's right now. But that price probably won't last. If you were thinking of the Mk II and wanted it new, you won't see it go much lower then that for a long time. But if you want a used one in great condition I may sell it for $1400.00 - I have two of them that I switch out so it hasn't had as much use as you might think. I have ALL the original packaging - battery and battery charger too.
